We also have some great assessment tools if you are not sure what career path is best for you. Maybe you want to do something completely different than what you did in the services. These quizzes can help you find your next career. From there, you can find even more resources on how to build up skills in areas where you may be lacking. 

Not sure where to start? Try Kuder Career Assessments. They ask you basic questions about what you like to do, what you are good at, and put it all together into an invaluable worksheet that shows you where you fit.

For a second opinion, visit WIN for WorkKeys. Here, you can train for your WorkKeys assessments and work towards a Career Readiness Certificate, the South Carolina standard for employability. They also have a career profiles section that shows you what kinds of knowledge, skills, and abilities you need for each job.

For example, jobs in fire departments and police departments require very high scores in Teamwork, Observation, and Locating Information. All three of these skill sets are imperative to keeping your team safe when working in a potentially dangerous environment.

All these resources can be accessed from anywhere with internet access. For more information or to set up an appointment to discuss anything further, email Amanda.
